Sleepphones |
|||||
 |
Designed by: Wei-Shin Lai Why we love it: Music can be an invaluable tool for getting to sleep while traveling (or even at home for that matter), however traditional earphones and earbuds can be uncomfortable and don’t permit you to sleep on your side. Sleepphones solve this by using a superflat speaker that lies over your ear and produces good quality audio without creating discomfort. Where you can get it: Sleepphones

Gotoob |
|||||
 |
Designed by: humangear Why we love it: Refilling regular shampoo bottles is a messy and infuriating pursuit that more often than not results in abandoning the entire venture and purchasing an oddly-scented replacement (for instance Pu’er) in a foreign land. The Gotoob is a benediction to those who suffer this plight; made from easy to squeeze and resilient silicone and featuring a large opening, no-drip valve and content identification tag it makes transporting your favourite lotions, ointments and salves a breeze. Where you can get it: Flight001

Hibermate |
|||||
 |
Designed by: Chris Thomas Why we love it: Sometimes the only solution is to isolate yourself completely from your surroundings and sleep. In these cases light and noise are your enemies. The Hibermate, on the other hand, is your ally. Boasting total light blockage, 50% noise reduction, a silky outer cover and cozy poly-cotton inner lining, the Hibermate is probably the world’s best eye mask. Completely hypo-allergenic and machine washable, it ensures comfort, convenience, and sweet, sweet repose. Where you can get it: Hibermate

JetBag |
|||||
 |
Designed by: JetBag Why we love it: That moment when lifting your suitcase off the carousel is accompanied by a waft of Kahlua and a dribble of creamy liquid from the zipper is not a good one. The JetBag’s inner absorbent layer, padding and airtight seal can, thankfully, save your belongings from alcohol/perfume marination. Where you can get it: JetBag

Parlux 3500 |
|||||
 |
Designed by: Parlux Why we love it: You just can’t trust hotel hairdryers to make your locks look their best. But rather than faffing about with some asthmatic ‘travel’ sized contraption, invest in a seriously powerful Parlux 3500. Packing real power with a 2000 watt motor and 73 cubic metres/hour airflow this pocket rocket compresses more into its compact frame than most regular-sized hairdryers. Where you can get it: Westfield

|||||
 |
Designed by: Poltrona Frau Why we love it: As great as all the gadgetry and synthetic fibres are, the timeless elegance of an expertly made leather documents wallet gives just the right touch of refinement and glamour to your travel.
